“IN 1947, THE AUSTRALIAN POPULATION WAS JUST 7.5 MILLION; IT WAS NINETY PERCENT ANGLO -CELTIC” The preamble of the Constitution is meant to reflect the reality and the character of a nation. But in today’s politically correct Australia there is one reality and character that cannot be discussed -- this is WHITE AUSTRALIA. It is true that Aborigines were here before the white man but it is also true that the white man built Australia into what it is today. A more specific truth is that those people that built Australia were not immigrants, they were Anglo Celts, they were the British race. Paul Sheehan in Among The Barbarians stated it as follows : “The half century 1947-1997 saw a social revolution in Australia that was bloodless, democratic and open-minded. In 1947, the Australian population was just 7.5 million; it was ninety percent Anglo -Celtic; it was ninety-nine percent European; the Aboriginal and Asian population combined were less than one percent of the overall population; public policy still enshrined White Australia, which had helped define the nation since independence; links with Asia were minimal; the British Privy Council was still the ultimate court of appeal. Aborigines did not have citizenship, and had barely any role in society[emphasis added].” (P39) So the simple fact : until after the Second World War Australia of essentially of totally British stock, the culture was English and the relevant civilisation was Anglo Saxon. The political system was the English Westminster System, the law of the county was the English common law and the religion was Christianity. As Paul Sheehan makes clear this had been the case from 1788 until very recent years. This is a truth. If it is true to say that the trees belonged to the aboriginals it is equally true to say that everything that the eye could see in 1950, that had been built built by human hands, had been built by a single culture and a single race. But this is one truth that cannot be placed in the preamble. No we cannot do that as that would racist. No, it is not racist to say that the aboriginals were here first. It is only racist to declare in the Constitution the name of the people whose ingenuity and hard work built the country. In the spirit of truth The National Watchman presents an ALTERNATIVE PREAMBLE FOR AUSTRALIA. Is is based on John Howard's miserable efforts which would have been introduced should we, unwisely, elected to have a Republic. THE NATIONAL WATCHMAN'S PROPOSED PREAMBLE FOR A FUTURE REPUBICIAN CHANGE "With the sure knowledge that real hope only lies in God, the Commonwealth of Australia is constituted from a continuing Constitution which recognises our humble reliance on the Creator’s blessings. From this foundation and with respect to His fundamental laws Australia provides an equal sovereignty to all its citizens who are woven together of people from many ancestries and arrivals. Since time immemorial our land has been inhabited by Aborigines and Torres Straits Islanders, with an ancient and continuing culture. However one people, the Anglo Clets of British stock, shaped the destiny and culture of Australia. These people defined the spirit of the nation, the ‘Australian Spirit’, which is summarised in mateship. This ‘Australian Spirit’ created an egalitarian culture were all are equal and treated with fairness. Australia is an oasis separated from a world of confusion and poverty. Millions have come to our great country for the sanctuary of the "Heritage Culture". This culture, having given so much to so many, is the secret treasure of Australia that must be nurtured and protected through the ages. Today Australians are free to be proud of their country and heritage, free to realise themselves as individuals and free to pursue their hopes and ideals. We value excellence pursued in a spirit of fairness and the independence of the ‘Australian Spirit’. The ‘Australian Spirit’ only evolved as it was protected under an Imperial system respecting the common law rights of the Australian citizens; its evolution is Australia’s democratic and federal system of government which exists under law to preserve and protect Australians who abide with and respect the laws of our great country. Today the physical resources of the world's largest island continent and the ‘Australian Spirit’ are protected and maintained by a Constitutional Crown free of political interference. In this spirit we, the Australian people, commit ourselves to the Constitution. Kerry Spencer-Salt B.E., LL.B (Hons) The National Watchman Australian Community Organisation P.O.
